Nikon’s rumoured 60-megapixel camera will shoot 16-bit RAW

by Leave a Comment

It looks like the rumours of Nikon bringing out a 60-megapixel mirrorless camera might be coming true. With the popularity of the D850, it’s not surprising that Nikon would be looking to beef up their mirrorless lineup with a high-resolution camera. And after the announcement of the Sony A7R IV, and Nikon’s tendency toward Sony sensors, 60-megapixels was not out of the realm of possibility.

According to screenshots obtained by Nikon Rumors, though, it looks like it’s actually coming. The images show an “FX” system with a resolution of 9552 x 6364 pixels (60.07-megapixels). They also show the possibility of 16-bit NEF raw files, too.

by 1 Comment

Astrophotography-specific versions of cameras aren’t all that uncommon for camera companies to announce. Nikon’s done it in the past with the D810a and a few others, and so has Canon with the EOS 20Da in 2005 and the EOS 60Da in 2010. Now, Canon is looking to update, with an Astrophotography version of the EOS R mirrorless camera, according to a leaked manual.

Sony to announce a high-end full frame E-Mount camera “very soon”

by 13 Comments

It looks like Sony might finally be getting ready to announce an A7S III. Or, possibly an A9 II. Nokishita posted up a list of camera models and their respective internal code numbers for a whole bunch of different camera manufacturers. In amongst them was “WW942051”, which doesn’t match up to any existing known Sony mirrorless camera.

According to Sony Alpha Rumours, their sources have confirmed that this new model, WW942015, is going to be a full-frame camera. A new “BIG ONE” camera, and it will have the same WiFi capabilities as the recently announced Sony A7R IV. Beyond that, nothing else has been released.

“Nikon’s dropping 5 lines of SLRs” says DPReview’s Chris Nichols

by 33 Comments

During the recent first look video for the Canon EOS 90D and Canon EOS M6 Mark II over on DPReview, Chris Nichols let slip at around 6:45 in the video that Nikon is “dropping 5 lines of [D]SLRs”. This seems to suggest that Nikon believes that DSLRs are, for the most part, well and truly dead.

We already knew at the beginning of July that there were rumours Nikon was possibly planning to drop the D3x00 series, the D50xx series and that there would be no follow up to the D500. But now it appears two more lines of Nikon DSLRs are to be cancelled.

DJI’s recent announcement was not the rumoured Mavic Mini drone that some had been expecting. Instead, it was the DJI Osmo 3, a folding handheld gimbal for smartphones. But that hasn’t stopped more leaks about a mythical DJI Spark upgrade from happening.

The video above, originally posted to TikTok by a user of a closed Facebook group about DJI gear, purports to show the new DJI Mavic Mini drone, folded up, from various angles.

Two new Sony APS-C cameras expected this month, including long rumoured A7000

by 10 Comments

When Sony announced the A7R IV last month, many were expecting it to be the long-overdue A7S III or the “Baby A9” high-end APS-C body that’s been rumoured for a long time. Neither of those things happened, but according to Sony Alpha Rumors, at least one of them will before the end of this month.

They say that they’ve received information from trusted sources confirming that Sony will announce a pair of new APS-C E Mount cameras at the end of this month. The A6500 is apparently going end-of-life, and so a replacement, naturally, would be on the way.
